This patch is incorrect.  It assumes a delimiter of '/' which is not 
necessarily correct on all IMAP servers (Courier uses '.' for example). 
  The real issue is that some people apparently have no personal 
namespaces defined on their server so namespace detection is coming up 
null.  We have to find a better way to work around this (more 
importantly, IMP currently doesn't handle the situation, perfectly 
allowable under RFCs, where different namespaces have different 
delimiters).

I have not been around my computer for a few days so I haven't had a 
chance to look at this in detail yet.
